«Breaking News» British ‘gypsy’ accused of fraud, assault and dangerous driving flees New Zealand on wrong passport

James Anthony Nolan, 26, managed to fly out of New Zealand on another person's passport

An unruly British 'gypsy' accused of fraud, assault and dangerous driving has managed to flee New Zealand on another person's passport. 

James Anthony Nolan, 26, used an eGate to scan the fraudulent passport which flagged him for further checks.

But a member of staff failed to realise he was not the same person he allowed Nolan on the flight.

Customs Minister Kris Faafoi blamed 'human error' and said the incident was a 'very rare' occurrence.

New Zealand Customs released an official statement after news broke that Nolan had managed to evade authorities by leaving the country, The New Zealand Herald reported. 

'James Nolan deliberately circumvented border controls by using a valid passport that was not his own, unfortunately, that was a case of human error, which shouldn't have occurred,' the statement said.

'Staff are being reminded of the importance of visual checks and validating the identity of all travellers.'

Nolan, along with his acquaintances Tommy Ward, 26, and William Donohue, 25, were were arrested on February 19 after allegations of a roofing scam. 

Last month, Auckland resident Heidrun Leonard, 82, claimed some men offered to fix her roof for $8,800 but fled with the funds.

The men, claiming to be tradesmen, allegedly knocked on the elderly woman's door on January 4, saying they noticed her roof was leaking. 

Ms Leonard said they offered to fix the problem but demanded money upfront.

'I was outside, they passed by and they said 'we would be able to get your roof alright,' and I didn't know there was something wrong with it but I thought it wouldn't be too bad,' she told NewsHub New Zealand.

'James Nolan deliberately circumvented border controls by using a valid passport that was not his own, unfortunately, that was a case of human error, which shouldn't have occurred,' a customs statement said

They allegedly told her to give them $8,800, and once the job was done the job, she would get money back. 

Ms Leonard wrote a cheque, which was cashed at a bank a short time later. 

The men then returned to the woman's home the next morning and cut a hole in her roof, she said. 

But they allegedly fled the property with the money when Ms Leonard's neighbour began asking questions.

Ms Leonard said she recognised the men when the family made headlines across the world for their antics around the country. 

Mr Nolan allegedly used a new eGate to process his passport before he was flagged for further checks. However a member of staff allowed Nolan to board the plane (file photo)

Nolan had a warrant for his arrest in relation to another incident where he subsequently failed to appear at the District Court.

He is accused of driving his car at a young woman who filmed him and his extended family when they left piles of rubbish at a Auckland beach last month. 

Krista Curnow, who captured dramatic footage of the picnic incident, alleged a man drove towards her as she tried to film the car's number plate. 

Nolan went on the run after he was charged with assaulting the woman and he failed to appear in court for the second time on February 7.

He ran away from Auckland District Court when he was given bail on January 25. 

His extended family were accused of wreaking havoc across the country by locals.

The tourists were faced with claims that they left a cafe without paying, damaged their rented apartment and allegedly stole a journalist's phone.

Their stint of mayhem across New Zealand led to the group being labelled 'a*******' and 'trash' by the mayor of Auckland, Phil Goff.

A petition to have the Brits removed from the country amassed more than 2,500 signatures.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
